2. Father & Daughter
After Khadija’s death, the Prophet used to pay special attention to his daughter FÄtima. Whenever he went on a journey, the last person to whom he would bade farewell was FÄtima; and when he returned to Medina, the first person whom he would meet would be FÄtima. Every day before going to bed, the Prophet would kiss the cheeks of his daughter and say a prayer for her.
When the verse “Do not call the Prophet like the way you call one another”(24:63) was revealed, even FÄtima, like everyone else, started to address him as “O the Messenger of Allah” instead of saying “O Father!” After hearing FÄtima calling him in this very formal manner, the Prophet said, “O FÄtima, this verse does not apply to you or your children...You should still call me ‘O Father’ because it brightens my heart and pleases Allah.”
